I have looked at the Porkers. 911 is just too expensive day to day and too impractical. Cayman/Boxter even more impractical. You won't believe it, but I can get my bike in the back of an 86 with the...

Hi there,

Returning to the UK soon. Been looking for what car to get, can't really find anything with the right combination of looks, running costs and performance.

If you want parts for your BRZ, Vietnam is unequivocally not the place to go. Seriously, you'll struggle to find any car parts in Vietnam that aren't for a Fortuner, Pajero or Camry, etc. Even then...

You look pretty high up there NoFear, what's the elevation above sea level. That probably is one of the biggest factors for a normally aspirated motor.

When I had the crickets, they were loud. Now that I am using different fuel and the crickets have gone, there is still a very quiet residual squeak that just sounds normal, same as yours I bet.

Transmission whine, engine whirring, road noise, etc. The 86 is a noisy car by most standards, for the most part (barring the crickets I would imagine), it seems to me by design by virtue of...

Hi Hunter (et al),

I just wanted to revisit this. As I filled up with 95 again and the crickets have yet again disappeared. Not only that, but also I noticed that low RPM chattering that I think...

I filled up with 95 last week, the crickets disappeared almost immediately, the engine purred. Filled up with 98 this week, crickets back.

Thanks Black Tire. I agree with your comment about the design of the hood. I suspect the bulges are exaggerating the relative transient time of air over and under the hood inducing some lift, as they...

Hi all,

Anybody else noticed this yet? At around 120kmh, I noticed the hood, just around the bulge, starts to lift. At 160kmh is looks quite ridiculous with, I would say, a 1cm vertical gap...
